Finding the right fit for your feet


Consultations in Faribault for customers seeking relief from foot discomfort and other footwear issues

Burkhartzmeyer Shoes provides footwear consultations that evaluate your walking habits, daily activity levels, and foot support requirements to identify shoes that improve comfort and mobility. The consultation process addresses footwear challenges like gait issues, pressure points, fit problems, and more that can all contribute to foot fatigue and other ailments.


Consultations involve observing how you walk, measuring both feet for length and width variations, and discussing where current footwear may be causing discomfort or failing to provide adequate support. Proper footwear selection can improve your natural alignment, reduce strain, and promote greater overall foot health. Furthermore, a quality over-the-counter orthotic may provide additional benefits, or even our custom orthotic services for the perfect fit to your foot type.

Common Questions About This Service

Customers visiting Burkhartzmeyer Shoes often have questions about how consultations work and what to expect during the fitting process.

  • What happens during a footwear consultation?

    The process includes measuring both feet, observing your walking pattern, discussing where current shoes cause discomfort, and evaluating your daily activities to determine what support features will improve comfort and reduce fatigue.

  • How do walking habits affect shoe selection?

    Your gait pattern determines whether you need motion control features, extra cushioning in specific areas, or a particular heel height to maintain proper alignment during walking.

  • What should I bring to a fitting consultation?

    Wear or bring the shoes you currently use most often so staff can examine wear patterns, and bring any orthotics or inserts you use to ensure new footwear accommodates them properly.

  • What are the differences between over-the-counter orthotics and custom orthotics?

    Over-the-counter orthotics vary widely depending on the manufacturer and can range anywhere from cushioned to flexible to rigid. These models typically come pre-sized and are designed to fit a broader scope of foot types and foot ailments. They’re also more cost-effective, but may need to be replaced more frequently. Custom orthotics, however, are molded specifically to your foot with a foam impression and a selection of materials suited best for your gait and activity level (done by our certified foot specialists). Although less cost-effective, they are very durable and repairable.
